Nancy, of course copy and paste etc works in Vista Basic as it has in every MS operating system since 3.1. It's not Vista Basic that is the problem. The problem is that your operating system has been corrupted by malware that you downloaded using Limewire and I'm afraid that is the risk you take when you file share and download files illegally. The malware coders rely on stupidity and greed to distribute their garbage and it works.
Have you tried using keyboard command to copy and paste? The commands are:
CTRL + C to copy
CTRL + V to paste
If this doesnt help, it's possible that something is locking clipboard. Boot into Safe Mode (restart your computer and tap F8 as it restarts) and try copying the files there.
